    Reporting Workplace Bullying Research
    (2021-05-30) Sharples, Kerry
    My research project explores the existing policies, procedures, protocols, and technologies Alberta post-secondary institutions use to report workplace bullying. Current analysis shows little research has been conducted to these specifications in the field and there is much to explore, from user experience to reporting effectiveness. Workplace bullying is an ever-prevalent issue (Farmer, 2011) which has both intense and adverse effects on both the employee, management, and the institution. To help guide my research, I used the Technology Acceptance Model and Constructivism as theoretical frameworks. The research was conducted using case study as its methodology and drawing on aspects from meta-synthesis; qualitative research enabled me to focus on the “what and why”. I researched eight post-secondary institutes within Alberta, as well as engaged with three participants from a post-secondary institute from different backgrounds to bring more meaning and insight to my research.

    RGO Library & Learning Commons Usability Testing October 2022: Findings and Recommendations
    (2023-01-13) Allard, Ethan; Mucz, Dave
    In October 2022, the RGO Library & Learning Commons conducted usability testing focusing on the functionality and ease of use of the website and online catalog. Recruitment for testing was done via advertising on Bow Valley College TV, campus bulletin boards, and in the student newsletter. Students, staff, and faculty members were invited to participate in testing; eight students expressed interest. Feedback from the participants was largely positive, and most tasks were completed successfully by all learners. Issues were mostly relating to visibility of certain options and redundancy on the main library page. Quick fixes that could be made to the library homepage were identified and implemented. The next step will be to monitor the effects of the changes already made and to plan more significant changes.
